By offering hope rather than condemnation and showing the practical applications of grace in today’s world, Dirty God will appeal to both the committed Christian and the spiritual seeker looking for a more authentic faith. Challenging and engaging, Dirty God is sure to establish Johnnie Moore as an emerging voice for Millennial and Gen-X evangelicals for years to come.

Girls with Swords: Why Women Need to Fight Spiritual Battles


Lisa Bevere - 2013

Worldwide, women are the targets of prejudice, sex trafficking, abuse, and even gendercide. Lisa Bevere writes that these attacks say more about who women might be in the future than who they have been in the past. In Girls with Swords she explains a spiritual enemy is seeking to disarm women on every level. It’s time women become the heroes God created them to be and stand—courageous, discerning, forgiving, and wise.   Creatively forging the imagery of swords, the Word of God, and the Cross, Girls with Swords  will teach you:   •      How to speak the language of heaven on earth •      What it means to intercede •      What it means to carry your cross •      What it means to be discerning •      How to disarm the enemy •      Why women are the enemy’s target—and why God needs them to be heroes   It’s time to take up your sword and be a hero.
